Common Causes of Distracted Driving Injury Accidents

The advent of mobile technology – including smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices – correlates with the marked increase in distracted driving injury accidents reported by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV). However, as long as drivers have gotten behind the wheel of a vehicle, driving safety has had to compete with distractions.

Other factors that distract drivers and lead to serious injury accidents include:

To substantiate your claim, our investigator can obtain copies of medical records, doctor bills, pay stubs or wage statements, and car repair bills. We will also gather medical expert testimony and sworn statements from your treatment team to document the care you will require in the future.

We will build your claim, submit it to the insurance company, and begin the negotiation process with the insurer. In most cases, we can obtain a fair settlement offer without having to file a lawsuit. However, if the insurance company will not negotiate in good faith, we will be prepared to move forward with legal action if necessary.

We handle all the details, leaving you free to focus on your health and recovery. For a no-obligation case review, contact the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine serving Port St. Lucie today at 1-800-747-3733.

Demonstrating Negligence in a Distracted Driving Injury Accident Case

To get you the settlement you deserve for your injuries and damages, we must determine who is at fault for your accident. We must then prove liability by demonstrating the at-fault party’s negligence in your distracted driving crash.

We will obtain photos of the accident scene, review police reports, talk to witnesses, and – if necessary – reconstruct the accident scene to make your case.

Once we establish the identity of the at-fault party, we must demonstrate the legal elements that demonstrate negligence on the part of the distracted driver.

Duty of Care

On the roadways of Port St. Lucie, motorists owe a duty of care to others to operate their vehicle safely. They must heed speed limits, obey the law, and focus their full attention on the road.

Breach of Duty

If the at-fault party violated their duty of care and drove while distracted – such as texting behind the wheel or glancing away from the road to switch the radio station – they have breached their duty of care to you and others on the roadway.

Causation

If in the course of breaching their duty of care, the at-fault party swerved out of their lane and collided with your vehicle, their actions caused the accident and any resulting injuries or damage.

Actual Damages

Once we establish liability, we must provide documentation to support your actual damages. We accomplish this by providing copies of your doctor and hospital bills, wage statements, and other documents that prove your damages.
